thank you. >> supervisor farrell: thank you. next speaker please. >> good morning. this is a historic vote because the marine green has never had a commercial lease in 77 years since the land was deeded to the city by the state in trust in the original legislation for bad commercial leases and this, although was amended, was honored by every previous board of supervisors for every project that was proposed to have a commercial lease on the green. this is signature open space. it's not port property. it's not commercialized. and this area of the green is the only part of the green that is open to the open water, the night sky, and it cries for environmental review. and i refer you to sara dennis-philips ips e-mail e-mail about the ceqa determination. this requires clarification. the immediate neighbors were not notified. there was no written notice sent by rtp or the planning department. why subject the planning department involved. if a commercial property on -- wants to change his use, notice its isn't out. not one of the immed
